We walked outside and my boyfriend looked up and said babe what is that? I seen the same thing back in 1999, so I ran inside for a phone to record. It was a line of at least 20 orbs of light, connected by strands of the same color light. It stayed very still and just passed on by. Lasted about 1-2 mins. This color was a light blue/white. I know it’s not Starlink because I seen this same thing over 20 years ago but a different color and there were two lines of them with less amount of orbs. Same speed, same design. I later on found the same picture in a UFO book at school 2 years later and it said they can be different colors. Then a different aircraft passed by 10 minutes later, lights like a drone, but it was loud in the sky, too low for a plane. And it stayed around the neighborhood for some time. My boyfriend recorded the video. After it was all done with we went to check the video, it never recorded. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I keep reporting UFO sighting but no one seems to care. The unknown entities/ aliens / devils are after me. I need help. I have an implant. I have a picture to share this time.. I hope that is believable enough for you. The UFO appeared over a peak and west of the community I live in. I looked like a star but It appeared and disappeared. It was stationary. The object was an orb and glowed with a light white. I even looked at it with a binoculars. I also took several picture with my cellphone. I am sharing one with the cropped out subdivision for privacy reasons. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

It appeared to be a sphere travling at a high atilitude and very fast. The flashes seemed to be from reflecting in the sun. It was spotted from Robins Air Force Base control tower. It seemed to be traveling behind another aircraft that was at FL 280. It was spotted to the North West traveling South East. It was not observed on our radar.

Was looking at a sky that had no other visible stars or planets…a hovering, what appeared to be a red ball with momentary energy spikes shooting from it from time to time…but when recorded and played back and zoomed in with an iPhone XR appeared white and flashing…play video back and zoom in tight Had seen same thing back in October but near Brentwood Homewood Suites and either time there were no aircraft present…make.certain you zoom in on object in video as tight as possible [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

San Juan, PR
About 7 PM on May 2,2023 I noticed a sphere shape object hovering stationary on top of a military hangars inside Luis Muñoz Marín international airport in San Juan Puerto Rico. The UAP stayed in the same spot for more than 10 minutes before getting dark and lost sight of the reflection emerging from the object. This object had no visible cord when I got close to the site. Meaning that this object was not a weather balloon attached to a facility inside the airport.

This is not the first time I've seen what could be UFO over Bridgeport Connecticut but they never look like the typical UFO. I don't see ships or crafts. I see lights. I can differentiate if I'm seeing stars or other planets. But every time I see one it's in the form of light. It was just a big round ball of light racing through the sky. It caught me off guard because I was on my way to do an Uber eats order. I did a double take and again couldn't believe I was seeing this. There were trees and stuff around so it kept cutting in an out but then I saw the plane. It wasn't a regular plane because of how fast it was going, it was literally on the ass of this light ball and it literally just look like a jet chasing a ball in the sky. I know it sounds crazy but I see a lot of unexplainable things that I never really share, only with friends because I know how crazy I'd look. I new it was some type of plane because I saw the wings and the lights but it was moving too fast to be a regular plane and it was too close in proximity of this light ball.

Grand Bay, AL
Was out walking my dog and looking up at the stars, I located the northern star fairy easily and then saw a solid white sphere traveling slowly from east to west. There were no blinking lights it was a solid white sphere. I tracked it across a cloudless sky for about five minutes when suddenly it came to a dead stop and vanished in the blink of an eye. I'm still baffled at how it could be there one second and gone the next.

Bluish-white sphère about 2’ in diameter travelling 200 degree bearing. Moving at high rate of speed, approx 700-1000 ft. Winds were out of the north at ~10 knots. Only able to see it for a few seconds, lost it in the sun.. First thought was a helium balloon but moving way to fast for it to be a balloon.

Was in hot tub so didn't have phone/camera. Originally thought bird or garbage bag but as it came closer could tell it was going in a straight line path. Was black/round/orb not shiny, flat black. Was cloudy out but was flying under all clouds so visible entire time. Do not know size as was unsure how high up it was. When flew overhead there was no sound, trail of any kind, or wind.

Saw many bright white orbs in the sky to our northeast appear for 20-30 seconds then disappear in the same general location, but happened for about 20-30 minutes with orbs appearing and disappearing throughout the duration. They were not in a line, sometimes staggered in pairs, and sometimes clustered in a group of 4-5. Most were moving from west to east. A few moved from south to north. Two orbs moved from east to west, stopped, then moved from west to east before disappearing. Some orbs did change directions in a curved looking movement upwards behind other orbs. They would appear, glow brightly, then disappear. There was no noise. We saw a similar thing to what appears on the show The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch Season 3 Episode 10 at the 31:00 minute mark of the episode, but saw it on a much grander scale. Also saw a shooting start very near where the orbs were disappearing. My wife and I both saw the orbs, although I saw more than her. I woke her up to show her what was going on. The orbs came in from a few different locations but all disappeared in the same general location near the 15 Andromedae star from our view point. I would guess we saw 15 to 20 orbs appear and disappear. Most were bright white, but it did appear some had flashing red and green lights similar to an airplane, but those too disappeared like all the other orbs. We did eventually see an airplane track through the location, but were able to continuously see the airplane move through the sky and not disappear like the white orbs did.

I was fascinated with the formation of the approaching storm cell and thought it would make for a cool picture. I notice the light while taking the second picture and as I attempt to take another It ascended up into the clouds. I'm curious to know if it's speed might can be calculated. Both pictures were taken within one minute. I paused to change filters which might have taken 20 seconds or so. The object in question is to the lower left of the very bright street light in the first picture, and above the street light in the second picture. Side note: not Venus or Jupiter

My daughter and I were present for a baseball game. Weather was VFR and clear. No clouds. Aircraft departing Charlotte airport which was running a southern flow were passing overhead in a NE direction shortly after departure, presumable on a standard departure procedure. My daughter spotted a small dark spherical object. I was not able to initially locate the object and so joked that she was seeing things. After a few moments of scanning the area, I too located the object. The object appeared above aircraft paths in the area moving slowly in a NNE direction. Was observed for approx 5 minutes. The we were unable to locate further.

I arrived home from the Walgreens at approximately 3:34pm according to the app I use to record my driving and upon exiting my vehicle, I turned towards my house and immediately noticed the bright half moon in the sky. For some reason it caught my attention and stood in my driveway for a brief moment until I noticed the bright liver object to the left of the moon high in the atmosphere. I thought at first it may have been a star or a satellite but ran into the house to get my Sig Sauer 10x42 binoculars and went out to my patio to get a closer look. I orientated at the moon and zoomed in to get a clear picture and from that point I traversed left to where I had last seen the object. I was able to find it and get a clear view. It was located at 75 degrees NE from my location to the left of the moon. It was at this very moment that all the neighborhood dogs started barking and birds began to chirp which I had never experienced since I've lived here. another odd observation is that it was a clear and sunny day but during this event a light haze filled the sky and cleared shortly after it disappeared. When I knew I was looking at a UAP described as a spherical chrome like object hovering at high altitude I wanted to get a tripod and my cell phone to capture video but just as I was about to as if it knew what I was about to do, it literally shot out of sight in what could have been a reveresd direction with no chem trails, sounds or lights. I don't know if this is related but I noticed an unusual amount of high altitude aircraft flying in all direction shortly after the sighting to the right of the moon. I have seen UAP's before in my childhood in Whittier (Major event 80's), California, on I-15 en-route to Vegas, Victorville, CA and in Iraq. I see high altitude flying aircraft in the Arizona night sky that defies explanation often. This is the first time since I was a kid that I have witnessed a UAP during the day.

Sioux Falls, SD
This morning at about 11:20 AM, my daughters and I saw about 20 very large, low flying, shiny, white objects moving silently back and forth in a synchronized formation above us. My eldest daughter (13yr.) saw them first, for about 15 seconds, before she ran to tell me. They were flying in a completely unfamiliar fashion. The sky was clear and it was sunny, so we had a sharp view of them. The objects wove around each other, sometimes holding a position and hovering for a few seconds before rearranging. They also circled around and followed each other at a steady speed. After about two minutes they turned west and then north. I quickly grabbed my phone to take a picture and ran outside. Unfortunately, by the time I had my camera on, the objects had reached a much higher altitude and started to leave. They flew north so fast that we lost sight of them within seconds. I just caught them disappearing above our spruce trees. We can't tell if it was a trick of the light, but some appeared to be spheres, some ovals, and one may even have been disc-shaped. My youngest daughter (9 yr.) believes she saw some of the objects break off and head east, stop, and then vanish in the same direction. The event lasted for 3 minutes at the most. We regret not being able to capture images of the objects more closely and can only send the attached video and 4 photos. If you move the video slowly right in the beginning you can just make out the white objects right above the tree, disappearing in the distance.

I looked out of the window of my apartment upon which I saw three grey, metallic, spherically shaped objects flying outside. The objects were approximately half a mile away, flying at a few hundred feet above the ground. They appeared to have be relatively small (perhaps 10 feet in diameter), flew in conjunction with one other, and did not appear to be flying sole with the wind. They moved at relatively low speeds and did not appear to possess any visible forms of propulsion. I have a video of the encounter on my phone, spanning a minute and six seconds long. I currently a student at the University of Florida. I was the only person in my apartment to witness this incident. Appears to be 3 balloons tethered together. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Spotted very bright object not moving north of the city. Object pulsated in cycles. Being very bright to very dim.I did not look away the whole time. Object began to move very slowly. Almost imprecivably. Object was moving east and seemed to be below the cirrus clouds. The wind was very calm on the ground but I could tell there were winds aloft by the direction of cloud dissapation. Object traveled perpendicular to wind direction.

I've seen many UAP's from my back deck over the past couple years. Tonight I just witnessed a green glowing orb materialize in the east direction from my back deck at approximately 2000ft traveling at a very fast speed in a downward descent as if it was going to crash possibly but it was probably 10 miles away from my view point and I couldn't see beyond the treeline as it was rapidly descending.

On April 23, 2023 I was on a welding contract with Polaris which is located in Huntsville, Alabama. The room I was staying was about 20 miles west of the Polaris plant in Huntsville, Alabama. I was outside my room door smoking a cigarette when I noticed up in the sky what appeared to me at the time a airplane ascending, however in mid ascension the craft stopped and hovered , I ran back in my room and got my cellphone and started recording. While the craft was ascending it had different colored light, a really bright green, a very bright red a bright white light. The craft reversed direction and
